Indian Hip-Hop superstar MC Stan, born Altaf Shaikh, has finally begun the long-awaited rollout of his forthcoming third rap album “Mehfeel”. The rapper, who stirred major collaboration rumours with Atlanta’s rap superstar Lil Baby during an exclusive conversation last year, has released the rap record’s flagrant lead single “Meri Zindagi Rap Se Pan Deep Hai”.
Notably, Stan’s massive lead single arrived within hours after the Pune-bred emcee announced it via social media on Friday night. For the iconic Indian rapper and record producer, MZRSPDH marks his first solo rap record “Nusta Paisa” released on his 24th birthday in August last year.

Notably, the “Urvashi” rapper’s third studio album is set to drop later this year.
As per Stan, the forthcoming album is set to be “deeply experimental” and will feature numerous actors from Hindi cinema.
“The album is arriving soon! It’s on the way. I would only say that I’ve done deep experiments on the album. It’s a matter of listening to it just once. Listen to the album once and then decide what you want to do with it. My most ardent fans will listen to the album anyways, you know what I’m saying, my time baby.
There are deep experiments on my album and I’ve gathered various people from the industry… actors and celebrities. It’s not just rap but various other disruptive things,” the Indian rap trailblazer said amidst the exclusive conversation.
Besides releasing the disruptive self-produced single, Stan continues to perform headlining sets at major Indian music festivals.
Most recently, the “Basti Ka Hasti” shut down Hyderabad. His massive live set was preceded by an iconic NH7 Weekender performance on his turf in December.
At the time, Stan performed his fierce rap discography and even teased a debut collaborative effort with Compton’s legendary emcee YG.
